iFrame display issues.

Nov 11.2008

Recently after four or five years of being absent from web design I have returned to begin production on a site for a guild on World of Warcraft however I have run into a strange issue with iframes during the ‘building mode’ of both Frontpage and Dreamweaver. I simply took screenshots for simplicity’s sake.

During ‘building mode’.

And when I preview it.

I’m not quite sure what the cause of this problem is but being unable to see my iframe is quite a pain in the ass. This goes for any site I have on my computer but I can see them fine on any site that’s online.

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks.

@CoyotelabNov 11.2008 — It can't find the file location which it's refers to. make sure path to file address(for i frame file) is correct.

@solar1sauthorNov 12.2008 — I probably wasn't specific enough so allow me to explain:

The problem lies in the fact that I cannot see the actual iframe during the production of any site on my computer. Whether or not the source can be found (I've tried with an array of sources both on my PC and online and I can see what's inside the iFrame upon preview) the iframe is not present to, for example, simply resize or right click and goto "Inline Frame Properties" solely because I cannot see it unless I preview the page.

Was that a little better?

@CoyotelabNov 12.2008 — Could you paste your code here so we can take a look at it.

@solar1sauthorNov 12.2008 — I apologize for the delayed response.

[CODE]<iframe src="news.htm" width="99&#37;" height="144"
<ilayer name="Iframe" border="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" >
</ilayer>
</iframe>[/CODE]

Also note that I've tried the absolute basic code as well.

[CODE]<iframe src="news.htm" width="99%" height="144"></iframe>[/CODE]

@CoyotelabNov 12.2008 — try somthing like this:

[CODE]<iframe frameborder="0" src="news.htm" width="800" height="144" style="border:0;overflow:visible" scrolling="yes" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
[/CODE]

again make sure news.html is in the same directory as viewed file if not add /news.html or ../news.html.
